In this installment of the critically acclaimed series, selections are grouped under subject headings—including "desire," "thought," and "family"—to facilitate book group discussions. Among the featured authors are Arno Camenisch, Jirí Kratochvil, Desmond Hogan, and Marie Darrieussecq. National Book Award nominee Nicole Krauss provides the preface to this edition of Dalkey Archive Press's annual overview of the most innovative fiction that Europe has to offer. Selected by acclaimed Bosnian novelist and MacArthur Genius Award winner Aleksandar Hemon, these authors hail not only from traditional literary wellsprings like Britain and France, but also Estonia, Latvia, Iceland, and Turkey.
